No matter what the game you’re making, the use of sound is essential. A popular sound library for the SDL family is SDL_Mixer. It’s an easy-to-use sound package which can handle many audio file formats. A popular one is the “WAVE” format introduced by Windows. Here’s how to play them with SDL_Mixer and the PeonSDK.

Before the MPEG3 or OGG music formats took off, most music data was rather large and expensive to distribute. As such, one popular music format was the MIDI format and wasn’t really audio binary data per se, but a sequence of instructions for the audio hardware to play/emulate. Massive songs could only take a few k of disk space, so this format was/is extremely popular.
